WICKED: FOR GOOD Scores Second-Best Monday in November at the Box Office

Following a record-breaking opening weekend, Wicked: For Good remained strong at the box office into the new week. According to Deadline, the blockbuster hit brought in $14.7 million on Monday in North America.

This is the second-best Monday ever for a film in November, only coming in below Wicked: Part One, which accumulated $15.77 million in 2024. The Monday showings performed ahead of the previous non-Wicked record holder, Frozen 2, which saw a Monday gross of $12.77 million in 2019.

BroadwayWorld previously reported that the new film brought in $150 million in North America, plus $76 million internationally, bringing its global total to $226 million during its opening weekend. Wicked: For Good marks the biggest opening weekend for a film based on a Broadway musical, beating a record set by the first film last year.

Wicked: Part One film brought in $112.5 million during its opening weekend in 2024. By the end of its theatrical run, it grossed over $756 million worldwide.
